Recent developments on the CLIC collimation and final focus are described. In particular, we present a viable beam-delivery system for 500
GeV centre-of-mass energy, which is obtained by relatively minor optics modifications of the 3-TeV system and which promises a satisfactory
performance. We show that the combination of a nonlinear collimation section
and a compact final focus can substantially reduce the overall system length at 3 TeV centre-or-mass energy. The attainable luminosity can be raised
significantly, at all energies, by decreasing the beta functions at the collision point.
